title = {WarSampo Data Service and Semantic Portal for Publishing Linked Open Data about the Second World War History},
abstract = {This paper presents the WarSampo system for publishing collections
of heterogeneous, distributed data about the Second World War on the Semantic
Web. WarSampo is based on harmonizing massive datasets using event-based
modeling, which makes it possible to enrich datasets semantically with each others’
contents. WarSampo has two components: First, a Linked Open Data (LOD)
service WarSampo Data for Digital Humanities (DH) research and for creating
applications related to war history. Second, a semanticWarSampo Portal has been
created to test and demonstrate the usability of the data service. The WarSampo
Portal allows both historians and laymen to study war history and destinies of
their family members in the war from different interlinked perspectives. Published
in November 2015, theWarSampo Portal had some 20,000 distinct visitors
during the first three days, showing that the public has a great interest in this kind
of applications.},
